About This Bill
Committee
Latest Action · November 19, 2024
Referred to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce.
This joint resolution would block an Environmental Protection Agency rule that establishes procedures for how oil and natural gas companies can comply with a new waste emissions charge. The rule, published in November 2024, includes provisions allowing companies to use netting (offsetting emissions reductions against new emissions) and claim exemptions from the charge. Under the Congressional Review Act, this resolution would disapprove the rule and prevent it from taking effect. The measure was introduced by Representative Grothman and referred to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce. If passed by both chambers of Congress and signed by the President, the EPA rule would be completely invalidated with no force or effect.
